I'll be there, but I have no idea what my schedule will be.

So when and where is everyone meeting? I'll try to make it.

 

[greedygirl]

It all sounds like torture.

Yup...I'll be there!

 

[KasinoKing]

I'm still 'out of the office', but arrived in Prague today & found some wi-fi at last!

I will be going to ICE, and hope to meet the rest of you.
Any day is OK for me, so just need which day & time confirmed!

 

[Casinomeister]

And yes, I'll be there.

I've been covering the ICE since 2001 mainly to report on the online gaming sector and to meet up with operators and software providers.

The reports are all archived in the Newsletter section:

Looks like with all you guys around, I can just chill out on the sidelines and let you do my work for me

Anyone interested, email me - webmaster at oggs.com - I'm trying to sort something out

 

[gfkostas]

What date is it?

Have you got a date/time/place sorted yet?

I've booked Wednesday 24th off work, so I'm hoping that's the day!

Wednesday seems the most popular day, late afternoon, early evening but Slotster isn't what time he's down at the moment

If someone buys my airline tickets from PHL, I'll be there

Looking good for exactly that! Wednesday late afternoon, early evening!

Fine with me.

I will bring a bag of 1 coins for the fruity in the pub.

If VWM comes, he can show us how to empty it.

Now THAT'S a fine idea I'd love for VWM to show me the tricks of the fruity trade... those machines just plain eat me up...

Doubt it, most fruitys are "chipped" by the time they make it to the pub. Most "empties" are bogus, the real info is sold by industry insiders for large sums.
Empties are best done where the staff don't really care what the customer does in "not their area", provided it is not obviously criminal, such as depositing a crowbar instead of a coin! (This does NOT apply in a pub).

Service stations and rail stations are favoured. I saw several persons blatantly robbing machines on the Motorway, and despite there being CCTV, noone ever came in to check more closely. One pair scammed two of the notechangers, and it was plain to ME what they were up to, as the average Maygay does NOT EVER pay 3 70+ "streaks" within 5 minutes, while at the same time switching itself off, then on, a similar number of times. (An empty method referred to as "plugging" in the underground trade), likely to get you arrested, but rarely sticks provided no physical damage is evident to the machine casing. - I don't use this method - too dodgy, and will get you thrown out of a pub instantly as pub landlords DO care when their fruitys get the empty treatment.

I am only some 40 miles from the venue, but I have a dislike for the Public Transport from here to London. In particular, I have to be "Cinderella" and leave before the clock strikes 11 in order to get home
If I drive in, I'll have to leave the beer alone.

I can get you a 2* hotel for 42.25 incl. tax and breakfast or a 3* for 47.50 incl. tax and breakfast, both located in the Earls Court area. However, rooms are very limited.

If you are interested, PM me.

Don't worry. Simmo can be the designated driver. I seriously doubt they serve muppets there

Now I am doubly looking forward to meeting you. I own a travel agency in Thailand.

 

[cheekymonkey]

Cool.

See you there.

HA HA HA.....

 

[vinylweatherman]

OK

OK, my curiosity is beginning to get the better of me. 40/50 does not seem so bad for London. I was thinking it would be nearer 200 per night at Earls court during such an event.
If a pub is decided upon, and the name & address/postcode posted I will look at coming along to meet up just for the day even if I don't bother with the show.
I had a look at the registration page, and it still only allows for company reps to register as company name and position are compulsory. Whether they actually check these out is a matter for them, they used to somewhat, but if there is no pressure on attendance I expect checking will be less enthusiastic.

Although I have never been, I DO have a valid company "code" that should get me in to ATEI (Pinball machines), but may not necessarily count for ICE now that they have become separate shows. UK Fruit Machine makers tend to worry a little about "players" getting in and hearing something intended for distributers - many players DO get through the checks though, I referred to "creative registration" before. Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk, and how are they to know you don't REALLY run a small arcade in Scunthorpe

I registered as travel agency so no worries there.

If you want to book the accommodation (without PM'ing me) go to

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

click on HOTELS, then choose London, United Kingdom, check-in date 24 January 2007, 1 night, Single room - then, bottom right hand side of the page it says click here for more locations/districts, find Earls Court then you will see a 2* and 3* hotel with AVAILABLE highlighted in red next to their descriptions. You can book from there if you wish.

 

[Slotster!]

I'm not sure if I'll make the actual show (despite registering and receiving my badge!) - so it's just the booze for me too. It looks like I'll arrive in the city about three ish on the Wednesday, then I'm at a seminar all day Thursday on the other side of town...

 

[cheekymonkey]

Booze sounds good.

I'll go with the flow....

 

[winbig]

Oh god, What did I start with the avatars...lol

Now you tell us Half the bloody casino world are coming to London that week

Look at my face! Would you want to be in a car with me driving? No. I thought not. Mine's a Bud



Regards registration, you only have to put your website in the Company Name box that's all
